![]() “I was always high, and I was always having sex,” says Theresa, who - like the other meth users in this story - asked that her last name not be used. She came back to the Valley, worked as a high-cost hooker for an escort agency, made a couple dozen porno films, and never stopped tweaking. There, she began smuggling “glass” - one of a dozen street names for high-grade crystal meth- back and forth between Guam and the Philippines. ![]() After grinding poles in Phoenix strip clubs, Theresa scored a contract to work in the South Pacific as a stripper, for $5,000 a week. That lasted just one semester, before Theresa began dancing at a strip club in central Phoenix, where she graduated from the diet pills she’d been using since she was 14 to smoking the street meth her brother was cooking up. “I know I don’t look like it now,” Theresa says, sipping an iced chai tea at Willow House, a downtown Phoenix coffee house, “but I did some really bad shit.” She’s years past her brief career as a second-grade schoolteacher, when she counted down the hours until she’d get home to do more tweak. Nothing about Theresa’s Noxzema-fresh face, curvy body, and just-washed auburn hair reveals the hell she put herself through for more than 20 years.
